In a vibrant Italian city of the 1960s, a group of friends faces the complexities of modern life and their romantic relationships. The story follows a young man, who struggles to connect with women, navigating between anxieties and ambitions in an environment full of temptations. Each character represents a stratum of society, from the intellectual who feels trapped by his own skepticism to the young aspiring actress seeking recognition in a superficial world.
As the protagonists intertwine in comedic and at times heartbreaking situations, the fears and desires of each are explored. Things become even more complicated when disagreements and jealousy arise, exposing the hypocrisy of their interactions. In a trendy bar, the group becomes a microcosm where the quest for love and acceptance meets the realities of disillusionment and the search for one's own identity.
The film's settings reflect the contrast between ostentation and solitude, while the characters, with their irreverent and self-critical dialogues, manage to evoke empathy from the audience. As the relationships grow more intense and complicated, each must confront their own "complexes," challenging the viewer to ask themselves: can we truly know ourselves in such a diverse and ever-changing world? The film becomes a mirror of the youth of the era, filled with laughter, tears, and shocking revelations.
